Are you 100% certain that RAID1 is actually functioning?


Well, no... all I know for sure is that the dmesg output lists it as a raid1 array. I'm not sure I'm in the mood to go _testing_ this anytime soon. ;-)

Today I got my new Fasttrak (based on Promise's promise of cooperation) and 2 IBM 40Giggers. I set up mirroring, and installed 7.1 w/ the Promise supplied drivers.

Naturally, I was in a pretty big hurry to get something a bit more modern than 2.4.2, and having heard ac kernels include Fasttrak support, I grabbed 2.4.12-ac1. The good news is, it _appears_ to work just fine. Thanks to e2label, I only had to modify the swap line in the fstab, and now the system is up and running. This makes me Very Happy. (tm)

However, based on my browsing the mailing list archives and what documentation there is, I'm a little worried - am I playing with fire here? ;-) Raid-1 support sounds like it's sketchy at best...

What I'd _like_ to hear is 'hey, if you've gotten that far you're in great shape'. Otherwise, I'll just report back in a few weeks with 'still works for me' or whatever.

regards,
David
